Useful links for research threads and guides

**Tamur** · 10-26-2004, 17:11

I wonder if there's any chance at all of having a Research subforum where a post like this can be stickied? I don't want the Colloseum to get to loaded with stickies, but I've found and lost therother's previous thread collection post at least a dozen times in the last three weeks.

At any rate, thanks for the new collection therother!

Nice list, therother.

Well ... there is the useful tools and links thread over in RTW guides. It's not exactly what you mean, Tamur, but it would be more perminant than this thread. Topics on this board are not deleted by age, unlike the ones on .com, so as long as a link remains somewhere handy the topic is not lost, only buried. A version of therother's post in that topic is guaranteed to hang around because a) the thread is pinned and will never be unpinned, and b)the RTW guide forum is purposely kept small and selective so it's less busy than this one. I would suggest that all of the links are labelled according to game version so people know what they are looking at. When the patch arrives a lot is going to change.

Someone could try raising the question of a dedicated game research forum in the watchtower and see what kind of response it gets. It would probably be spreading things a bit thin though.

EDIT: Tamur's ahead of me; the thread's already been started in the watchtower.

Yes, that is one concern I have about a dedicated subforum, it would be very low volume.

I worry about using that tools/links thread because of the number of changes involved in active research, and the number of searching-for-answers type posts that could end up posted/linked there were it to become a research collection point.

Awesome list therother!

However, the link to the Devastation seem to be wrong.
Also, you forgot Soulflame's unit guide and my Quick Strategic Map Guide (I'll post the update this Friday or Sat).

I'll start the Quick Battlemap Guide as soon as I can (when all the Economic stuff gets resolved)

The economics guide was meant to be a part of the update to my Quick Strategic Map Guide, but It got too big, so I figured, I'll post it separately.

For the Devastation link, the URL should be ?t=37843 rather than ?t=37831

Guess where it was? On page 13 of the threads. Eeek! I can't believe the thread turnover rate in here.
